Computer codes used to generate a 3-D model of a bicycle with a rider, and transform it to show a view as expected in the Special theory of Relativity accounting for the "Terrell Rotation" distortions. Fortran program does creation of bike and distortions. Python code post-processes output of Fortran code to include doppler effect and intensity beaming.
